It's monday, what does that mean? bring in fresh baked goods and meat for your coaches day!

New day, new week! Going to cut down on the desserty stuff, muffins and nuts. And keep fruit to lower sugar options such as apples or berries and only one piece a day.

5am) 1L water, green tea

9am) 2 eggs, 2 small organic chicken sausages (butter chicken flavour from Choices! so good), 3 sauteed collard leaves, 1 cup spinach sauteed. Supplements and fish oil.

3/4L water

1:45) snapper fillet, steamed broccoli and cauliflower with 1Tbsp flax oil

1L water

4:30pm) 2 small chicken sausages, and a chocolate shake of 1/4 avocado, unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 tsp coconut oil, 1 tbsp raw cacao powder, vanilla extract, sweetened with 10 drops liquid stevia. (Had an over ripe avo that needed using, scraped out the brown stuff, euwww... anyone know what Robb Wolf says about stevia? I hear he says it's no good either)

7:30) handful walnuts (starving waiting for dinner)

8:30) salmon, sweet potato, broccoli, bok choy
poached pears in coconut milk, cinnamon and nutmeg

Dinner- all leftovers (turkey meatloaf/chicken/yam/brocc

Dessert- Berry crisp ( actually was a loaf i made that didn't turn out due
to using coconut flour instead of almond flour so I froze it. Took it out last night
and its awesome. same recipe as my berry muffins but with coconut flour, cook it for
30min let sit and freeze, poured coconut milk on it, so good. Ha ha Who knew !!

Making dinner/lunch for tomorrow.. Coconut crusted chicken!! posting it now. Really easy.

Erin, best to stay away from stevia. I think the standard response on stevia and any other non caloric sweetener is that because your tongue "cant tell the difference" when it comes to taste, your body can't tell the difference either and will ramp up an insulin response in anticipation of getting the hit of sugar, so that while you may not be taking the calories on board, you are still paying the price.

I'm down about 5 lbs at this point but I feel like I should be making some adjustments because I'm not feeling as lean as I'd like to at this point. Basically on track for 8-10lbs weight loss however.

Morning and Good Riddens Half Way - NO WAY!!! Feeling like half a million bucks at this point...hahahaha

Dinner - Patti's Moroccan chicken stew (Leigh are you coming today!? I owe some food and I keep missing you! Although I don't think Popeye minds! )

So far I have been feeling great but today took an ugly turn. This is what I ate pre wod:
Breakie: 2 eggs, banana, nuts
Lunch: 2 burger patties I made, yams, asparagus
Snack: 1/2 a burger patty, yams, asparagus

It was definitely not enough! I went into a little depressive hole after the workout, which instantaneously went away when a had a protein shake when I got home. This used to happen a lot when I was working out periodically at the "other gym" and it was always related to not enough food.
Post wod:
30gm protein shake with coconut milk, banana, some frozen mixed fruit.
Dinner: big piece of Talapia, 1/2 burger patty, a ton of yam fries, asparagus.

Wish I had time to cook so I could have some variety! Maybe this weekend.

Oh ya and I had 1/2 a coffee today around 1pm and put a little cream in it cause it was awful!

AM I EATING TOO MUCH??

Steph, your meals look great, I don't feel your eating a lot, and I'm sure your portions aren't huge?? Are you full or hungry after you eat ? if your not feeling like your goals are being met, then easy on the nuts and fruit, maybe less snacking and focus more protein in your breakfast or lunch so your full longer. Try that if you feel like your eating to much, let me know how it goes, but ask your self if you
feel, look and your energy is good, then keep eating the way you are, its all good stuff.
